hi all,

I am wondering about rating concept in hotscripts.com. There are some listing which are rated as 1 star even more than 20 users have rated it. on the other hand some of the listing are rated 5 start even 5 users have rated it. I don't know how it works?

Any idea,suggestions please?

thank you

It is likely rated out of a maximum (best) at 10..
Each vote is put into a database and queried using average() or alike to determine the average score.
The rating is not determined by the amount of people who have rated the script, but what is average score of all the votes
